PICO provides a template (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) with links to Emtree, a controlled vocabulary.
PV Wizard (Pharmacovigilance Wizard) is a drug monitoring-focused search.
Medical device searches provide prompts for searches of adverse device effect, clinical trials, device comparison, and device economics.
An Advanced search lets you construct a complex search query with commonly used limits.
Drug, Disease, and Device options let your construct an advanced search with subject-specific options.
An Article search is useful for finding a specific article and an Author search helps identify an author’s full name and publications.
